<90% Alumina Ceramic (Al₂O₃)

We offer a range of less than 90% alumina materials suitable for many products and applications. These materials include but are not limited to our more popular ranges:

85% Alumina

This is a highly versatile alumina ceramic with great mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties, featuring:

Low thermal expansion

Good mechanical strength and hardness

Chemical and corrosion resistance

Consistent electrical and mechanical properties

Thermal stability

Dense, non porous and vacuum tight

These features make this material an excellent choice for mechanical standoffs, spacers, resistor forms, surge arrestors and coil forms as well as industrial applications requiring good mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.

These features make this the right material choice for applications such as cartridge heaters, thermocouples, immersion heaters, thermostat assembles for electric irons, kettles and fires and components in domestic appliances, especially where parts handling and assembly operations are automated.

HiloxTM 882

This alumina ceramic of 84% Al2O3 content combines excellent wear and chemical resistance with good electrical and thermal properties. This material benefits from the following features:

Good electrical insulator

Good thermal shock resistance

Good dimensional stability

Good abrasion resistance

Non-porous and vacuum tight

Corrosion resistant

The combination of this material's properties and features make this a good choice for applications such as hard wearing, chemically resistant counterface seals for automotive water pumps, electrical stress relieving equipment for welding operations, electrically insulative components for domestic and industrial equipment.
